وَجَآءُو عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِۦ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ
Alternative: God is the supporter against what you describe.
Research rendering: God is the support-source against what you describe.
The form is passive: the one whose support is sought. 'Support-source' is less cumbersome than the full phrase while preserving the passive direction better than 'supporter'.
